FritzBox 7240 and Free DynamicDNS

Today I tried to figure out how to connect my FritzBox 7240 to the free dynamic DNS provider dnsdynamic.org. Since it turned out to be a little tricky, you might find this post helpful when you try it on your own.

Because dnsdynamic.org is not listed in the FritzBox' built-in DynDNS provider list, so you have to do the configuration manually. After creating an account on dnsdynamic.org,  log-in and create a free domain. In my case I chose dnsget.org, but it should work with all the other domains too. Afterwards log-in to your FritzBox and switch to the DynDNS section. There you have to choose "Custom" as provider and fill the fields as follows:

• URL: www.dnsdynamic.org/api/?hostname=yourDomainName.dnsget.org
• Domainname: yourDomainName.dnsget.org
• Username: emailAddress@usedOnDnsDynamic.org
• Password: passwordUsedOnDnsDynamic.org

Save your settings and enjoy your dynamic DNS!
